No community was ever known to
prosper when a majority or even
large minority OF its citizens were
dissatisfied with their surroundings.
1t is far better for any community
for those becoming restless and dis
contented with their position to move
away and make themselves beautiful
ly conspicuous by their absence. The
first thought of one devoted to the in
terest OF his town or city ought to be

ers who assist others to help me,
hence he gives all home enterprises
the preference. He does not send
his money of, as he will not hear
from it again, but is willing to pay a
better per cent. at home. He be-
lieves in patronizing home industry
and keeps his tongue still when he
cannot speak in complimentary terms
Of his neighbor or in matters concern
ing his city. With a majority of
such citizens the complaining minor
ity is whipped into line and prosper
ity is inaugurated.

HOOVER SHOT.

Hiram f. Hoover, the man whom
the citizens of Warrenton attempted
to lynch last Thursday night, and
who almost succeeded in their object,
arrived in Augusta late Friday after
ternoon, in a terrible condition.
Hoover claims to be from Hickory,
n. c., and is the man who has been
causing so much trouble in Middle
Georgia by making incendiary speech
es to negro farm laborers, by adyis-
ing them to strike for higher wages,
and if their demand be refused to
arm themselves and fight for it, and,
if necessary burn every house in the
country. He made this sort Of speech
in Warrenton Thursday night to
about five hundred negroes, and
aroused them to high pitch of ex-
element. At the conclusion of the
meeting he was called upon by a
committee of citizens who demanded
that he leave the county. This he
pointedly refused to do, and in the
heat of the excitement one of the
party emptied the contents of shot
gun charged with buck-shot into him.
lie fled, but after running a short
distance, fell, seemingly dead. The
party then returned to their homes,
but when the scene was visited next
morning he was nowhere to be found.
1t was then learned he had reached
the depot, where he boarded train
and went to Augusta. From the de-
pot he, was taken to the hospital.
The whole right side of his face is al
most shot off and his skull is filled
with buckshot. His right eye was
torn completely from its socket.
lie left Augusta and went to Madi-
son where he methis wife, who begged
that he might remain at the hotel
a few days. There has not been one
word of sympathy expressed for him
and all are of the opinion that he
received his just dues, although there
is good deal of sympathy for his
devoted wife, who is a most estima-
BILE woman.

INHUMAN WRETCHES.

The anarchists are organizing in
squads of half dozen persons in Chica-
go to prevent detectives from enter
ing their meetings, and they pro-
pose to overturn civil government
by dynamite, fire and bloodshed.
The people of this country are too
lenient with these red devils. Self
preservation is the first law of ma
ture, and when these inhuman
wretches are found plotting the de-
struction of life and property, death
should be melted out to them as swift
ly as it they were mad dogs. The
future revolution that is to disturb
the peace and prosperity Of this
country, will be fomented by these
foreigners who are focking to our
country in one continued stream.
Leaving their own country for their
country's good, they come here with
no idea of making law-abiding citi-
zens, but to SOW the seeds of discord,
riot and incendiaryism. Our gov
eminent is allowing these traitors
and assassins to hatch their destruc-
tive eggs here at a frightful cost, and
it is high time that the hand of law
and order should throttle these mad
plotters and put an end to their mis-
chievous teachings.

FOREIGNERS COMING In SWARMS.

The enormous figures representing
single weeks arrivals are stagger-
ing. New inhabitants enough to
populate a respectable city each
week would have been hailed with
rejoicing by the majority OF Ameri-
can citizens a few years ago. But
the rapid increase in crime, pauper-
ism, and insanity noted recently,
and which is chiefly traceable to
sources, has brought the American
people face to face with the fact that
foreign immigration on a large scale
is not an unmixed blessing. The
recent labor troubles have served to
show likewise that the advocates of
rioting and violence are chiefly of
foreign BIRTH The blood and dyna-
mite school of anarchist that is be-
ginning to be aggressiyely prominent
in some OF our large cities is compos-
ed of foreigners. Whether for good
or for evil, however, the foreigners
are coming in swarms. They be-
lieve they can better their condition
here, and as American doors are not
slammed in their faces they are
bound to try the experiment anyway,
The year of 1882 witnessed the great
est number of arrivals, when 7SS, 1922
persons landed at American ports.
At the present rate the prospect is
very good that the immigration of
1887 will exceed that Of 1882. The
absorption of this vast body of alien
people and their transformation into
loyal, law-abiding, and useful oiti-
zens OF the United States is prob
lem Of no small proportions, and
calls for the exercise of the highest
qualities of craftsmanship. Phil

CURIOUS CASE OF SLEEP. WALKING.

Boston Globe.
Patrolman Warren, of the third
precinct, was standing on the corner
of Temple and Cambridge streets
about 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when he saw white object
moving through Lynde street to-
wards Cambridge street. He waited
until the object reached the corner,
when he saw that it was woman
with only night dress on, and her
hair hanging loosely about her shout
ders. He then surmised that it was
some insane person. He had taken
but a few steps when the woman
started down Cambridge street at a
rapid pace. He pursued her, but
could not Overtake her until she had
run as far as the corner of Chambers
and Allen streets. He then saw that
she was asleep. He took her to the
station. Lieut.. Gaskin, who was on
duty, was looking to see if she was
still asleep, when she placed her
arms around his neck and laid her
head upon his manly breast. The
Lieutenant tried in vain to break
her hold, and he ordered DR.. Cilley
to be called. The woman remained
asleep until the physician reached
the station and then opened her eyes.
After looking at the Lieutenant a
second or two she exclaimed:
'My God Where am | 2"
The Lieutenant told her not to be
alarmed, as she was in the hands of
friends. a quilt was wrapped about
her and Officer Warren took her to
her home on Lynde street. She re-
fused to give her name. The officers
OF that district say that she is sub
ject to somnambulism and has on
several occasions been found walking
in he. sleep on the street.
